Suddenly, a cool voice came through.

Wu Xu's eyes lit up, and as he strained to look over, he saw the assassin girl Blood Phoenix approaching.

At this moment, Blood Phoenix wore a tight-fitting purple undershirt, topped with a thin black trench coat, her soft black hair tied into a ponytail. Paired with her indomitable icy demeanor, she appeared brisk and capable, bursting with heroic vigor.

Wu Xu's gaze brightened as he couldn't help but lick his lips.

The gesture was subtle, but Blood Phoenix was, after all, an assassin; even the slightest movement couldn't escape her eyes.

With an eerie smile curling at the corner of her mouth, Blood Phoenix sat at the edge of Wu Xu's bed and said indifferently, "Your nervous system is almost dead, and yet your lustful thoughts are still very much alive."

Wu Xu snapped back to reality, slightly embarrassed, he said, "Oh, that... It's all because Phoenix Sister, your beauty is so overwhelming, no man could maintain his integrity in your presence."

"Is that so? Quite the sweet talker, aren't you? No wonder that policewoman left here giggling," Blood Phoenix said with a hint of suggestiveness.

"Really? Did she?" Wu Xu was surprised, not having noticed Zhao Qian's laughter as she left.

"Alright, cut the act. You've got some skills to have charmed that policewoman. I'm here to help you," Blood Phoenix stated.

"Help me? How?"

Wu Xu thought about his current paralysis, and his expression dimmed.

"Don't you want to stand up again? If you prefer to lie down like this forever, I don't mind," Blood Phoenix teased.

"Stand up? Are you saying..." Wu Xu's eyes lit up with eagerness as he asked hastily.

"Of course, I mean curing your malaise," Blood Phoenix replied nonchalantly, as if the medical condition of potential burnout was trivial to her.

"Malaise? How do you cure it? Tell me quickly!" Wu Xu couldn't stay calm, his longing for a lifeline like a drowning man was something ordinary people couldn't comprehend.

"Actually, it's not a big problem. Malaise is a common condition among martial artists. A longstanding Sect like Heavenly Snake Sect naturally has its own Dharma Method to address such symptoms. Listen, I'll recite a mantra for you to memorize," Blood Phoenix didn't tease Wu Xu and recited a lengthy mantra.

It was a lot to remember, but Wu Xu memorized it perfectly in one go.

This took Blood Phoenix by surprise; such a memory was exceedingly powerful. Her recitation consisted of at least five hundred characters and he remembered everything after just one repetition!!

As for this, Wu Xu couldn't explain himself; it was the first time he felt such memory capability. It seemed that after the refinement of his internal organs, his mind felt extraordinarily clear. Hearing Blood Phoenix's mantra, every word seemed to be etched into his mind, unerasable.

"It seems you have many more wonders to be discovered," Blood Phoenix observed Wu Xu for a long time before finally speaking admiringly.

"That's it, if you keep watching me, you'll eventually fall for me," Wu Xu thought delightedly, his fondness for the assassin girl growing. Her cold temperament was so striking that he never tired of it.

"Alright, next, I'm going to massage and activate your blood flow, stimulate your nerves, and you need to concentrate and cooperate," said Blood Phoenix as she began working on Wu Xu's body, instructing him to focus and visualize according to the mantra she had given earlier.

Blood Phoenix's massaging technique was similar to the common massages, but the key difference was that her fingers would tremble upon touching Wu Xu's acupoints, sending waves of Hidden Force into them, causing slight stimulation that made Wu Xu's body tingle intermittently.

Such rapid effects naturally delighted Wu Xu, who concentrated and vigorously cooperated with Blood Phoenix's movements.

An hour later, Blood Phoenix stopped her movements, sitting on the edge of the bed and closing her eyes to rest.

Wu Xu slowly exhaled a few breaths, feeling a slight sensation throughout his body, and his heart filled with immense joy, realizing that he wasn't truly paralyzed and that there was hope for recovery.

However, Wu Xu turned his gaze towards Blood Phoenix, his face showing surprise, then concern as he asked, "Phoenix Sister, are you alright?"

At this moment, beads of sweat dripped down Blood Phoenix's forehead, her complexion was flush, and her chest heaved rapidly, clearly showing signs of overexertion.

Ignoring Wu Xu's question, a few minutes later, Blood Phoenix regained her composure. Although the sweat had vanished, her face still looked very tired.

"I'm fine. I've just overused my Hidden Force; I'll recover after resting for the night," Blood Phoenix responded faintly.

Being a martial artist and possessing sufficient theoretical knowledge, Wu Xu knew her condition wasn't as simple as Blood Phoenix made it out to be. The depletion of Hidden Force meant a loss of martial strength that would require significant replenishment and cultivation to recover. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't be so wasteful. Touched, Wu Xu watched Blood Phoenix silently, not saying a word.

Feeling somewhat unsettled by Wu Xu's gaze, Blood Phoenix unconsciously turned her head away and added, "You don't need to thank me or anything. You helped me defeat a great enemy, and you are in this condition because of me. Don't worry about it. Besides, I'll come to massage and activate your blood every other day, and you should be able to recover within a month."

"Thank you, Phoenix Sister!" Wu Xu said sincerely, his words rich with heartfelt gratitude.

"Oh right, Phoenix Sister, I forgot to tell you. Now, the Junshan police force has pinned all the blame on Bai Ma, so you don't need to worry about the matters here anymore," Wu Xu said with a cheerful smile.
